Philip K Dick Blade RunnerMay 10, 2020 at 9:14 am #1203474368Could not disagree more.
First of all, how condescending to suggest he has “an incredible amount to learn about the profession.” Would you say that about others who burst onto the scene like Chazelle? Or Gerwig? Why Peele? Methinks I smell some implicit bias…
Your analysis is purely subjective and is not focused on any of the objective aspects of the film. The movies are pretty thoroughly explained–particularly upon second viewing which is what he writes for–although since when do movies need to explain themselves? This is not a necessity to make a good film.
I’ve not seen The Lighthouse, but I don’t see what’s special about The VVitch. I watched it two years ago so I can’t begin to write a thorough analysis of any sort, but the movie’s examination of hysteria did not delve deep in my opinion. It felt like the creators set out to showcase hysteria without allowing it to develop naturally for the characters. I know people might argue the opposite, though.
Every post i make is biased, the same as yours.
Piper knows films. You as well. If you think he’s arrogant you havent read any of scottfergusons.

Philip K Dick Blade RunnerMay 10, 2020 at 8:52 am #12034743281. Shirley MacLaine, THE APARTMENT
2. Deborah Kerr, THE SUNDOWNERS
3. Melina Mercouri, NEVER ON SUNDAY
4. Greer Garson, SUNRISE AT CAMPOBELLO
5. Elizabeth Taylor, BUTTERFIELD 8None of them are bad IMO. Taylor is interesting plus she has her usual undeniable star quality, even if the film as a whole is awful. Garson usually bores me to tears, but this is her best work I think. Mercouri is an acquired taste. MacLaine & Kerr are the only ones I really liked though. Jean Simmons was robbed of a nom for ELMER GANTRY for sure, my personal list would include her as my winner then my noms would be MacLaine, Wendy Hiller in “Sons and Lovers”, Judy Holliday in “Bells Are Ringing” & Sophia Loren in “Two Women” since I don’t have that Los Angeles showing for a week rule.
This.

Philip K Dick Blade RunnerMay 10, 2020 at 8:49 am #1203474326Rooney Mara is an excellent actress I agree. However, I do think that J-Law has great talent and could be as versatile as Mara given the right roles.
Comparing Mara to Pugh is kinda useless ? Mara has been a known name in the industry for 10 years, Pugh’s a newcomer.

Blade Runner is overrated. It’s far from a bad film but it just feels dull.
I don’t like Haneke and don’t think he’s some genius. His films are pretentious and not fully exploring the thematics he chose to film. It’s like he wants to be disturbing just for the sake of it. He’s not a bad director, I’m just indifferent to whatever he makes. Funny Games, The White Ribbon, The Piano Teacher… all very meh.
Haneke is disturbed. His films are self stroking therapy for him.

Here, you can only post un-popular opinions.

Next is Working Girl. Love that film, including Melanie….you transform, girl.ReplyDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Philip K Dick Blade RunnerApril 6, 2020 at 12:10 pm #1203412874Whoa! Somebody else went with Cloud Atlas! That makes two of us…
A very flawed character in my favorite film that year. Not such a nice guy eh Tom?
Only seen him stink in Larry Crowne where I caught him acting. Didn’t think that would ever happen…

Philip K Dick Blade RunnerApril 6, 2020 at 12:04 pm #1203412851Do you think Sophia Loren deserved the award? I’ve never seen that film. I’ve seen the other 4 nominees and they are all pretty great.
Yes I do. She “explodes” in her climactic scene…
Groundbreaking film and win.ReplyDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Philip K Dick Blade RunnerApril 6, 2020 at 11:45 am #1203412794For me it was all downhill once Drew Barrymore exited the film..
I’ll add Clifton Collins jr for Capote. He is remarkable!
Guess I’ll add Jason Statham from SPY Since, who else would mention him? Lol.
Bill Murray. Zombieland.
Albert Finney. Skyfall.
Many others. I’ll have to ponder it. Love this question.ReplyDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Philip K Dick Blade RunnerApril 6, 2020 at 11:35 am #1203412750Whoa. Tough choice. Thinking about it I haven’t changed my mind about Faye. Imo all of them were deserving, regardless of their respective films.

I went with Hollywood as well….lol. For several non Garry godmother reasons…
